Introduction — State-building, the Modernization of the Legal System, and Institutional Effectiveness in Mexico: Notes on the 2013–2014 Energy Reform

Nobody can ensure that the economic gamble underlying the 2013–2014 energy reform will achieve the desired or expected success. However, the author presents evidence demonstrating that Mexico has gradually been building the institutions that will be able to perform governmental operations with reasonable effectiveness. This paper is part of a Baker Institute Mexico Center research project examining the rule of law in Mexico (https://www.bakerinstitute.org/the-rule-of-law-and-mexicos-energy-reform/) and the challenges it poses to implementing the country's energy reform

Globalisation et changement juridique au Mexique : l'ALENA

Globalization and Legal Change in Mexico : the NAFTA. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force on January 1, 1994. For Mexico, the Agreement means a step toward consolidating a new development strategy based on open markets. The legal changes supporting this economic transition have been no less far reaching. This paper briefly presents some remarks on the relationship between the Agreement and the so-called « globalization of law », describes the contents of the Agreement and discusses some of its consequences for Mexican Law.L'Accord de libre-échange nord-américain (ALENA) est entré en vigueur le 1er janvier 1994. Pour le Mexique, l'accord signifie un pas en avant vers la consolidation de sa nouvelle stratégie de développement basée sur un marché ouvert. Les changements juridiques accompagnant la transition économique n'ont pas été moins importants. Cet article propose quelques observations sur le rapport entre l'accord et ladite « globalisation du droit », expose brièvement le contenu de l'accord et explique ses conséquences pour le droit mexicain.Fix Fierro Héctor, López Ayllón Sergio.
